In European culture, the sword is closely associated with chivalry, which includes principles such as loyalty, justice, courage, and honour. A knight who took an oath on a sword pledged to uphold these values and defend the weak. Today, the symbol refers to moral and ethical strength, and acting by noble values.
We can find the first mention of the sword in the biblical book of Genesis. After the rebels were expelled from Eden, God placed ‘cherubs and the flaming blade of a sword’ in order to ‘guard the way to the Tree of Life.’ (Genesis 3:24 NWT). The sword thus symbolises not only defence, but also determination and prowess. Today, the sword is one of the most versatile and powerful symbols that has stood the test of time. Its meaning has evolved with culture and history, taking on various forms and connotations, from a symbol of strength and courage, defence and bravery, to masculinity and honour.
The sword became the inspiration for a unique bracelet. The blade, together with the handle, has been curved and fitted to the wrist. The bracelet has no moving parts, making the sword look authentic, with no joints or hinges. To ensure it can be easily removed, despite its relatively small diameter, the blade and handle are not connected. This also serves as a safety feature so the bracelet is securely held on the wrist.
